Finally received my Top Secret full intake kit (thanks to Henry at RMSMotorparts who sources all my JDM stuff)

Got my Zele skirts too but there's plenty of pics of those floating around

.... the Top Secret intake and turbo inlet pipes not so much

Intake pipes are 65mm going into 60mm turbo inlet pipes

I've downloaded a few diy's for the inlet pipes and it looks like a knuckle buster, not looking forward to it

agreed, always been a fan of Smokey's cars

my build will be solely Top Secret engine side - intake, ti intercooler piping, high flowed oem turbos......

Nice!

Looking forward to see the results.

Big respect to Smokey Nagata along with other big garage names ie: Mine's / MCR / HKS, just to name a few.

yeh the filters are from HKS but the cf makeshift airbox is TS's own work

most of the aftermarket inlet pipes end up looking all pretty much the same

Yes it was more my point that Top Secret have be re-branding HKS parts for years (same as Mines).

It's a great upgrade and one of the biggest restrictions on the earlier GTR so hope you have a nice tune to match for maximum gain.

You name by any chance isn't James is it? Can't wait to see the titanium I/C pipework.

Cheers

Marty

no not James

i dont mind if they are re-branded, the TS were a good 250 bucks cheaper than the HKS kit with their drop-in filters (which im running atm)

makes sense now then why they're using the hks filters

Martin has provided me an e-map for the intakes + midpipe, but i have a full 90mm ti exhaust setup in the air atm, so ill have to do some datalogging and get a new map done

i have to learn how to use the datalogger on the cobb

installed intakes today, fit of the airbox and piping was spot on

have gained some welcome turbo spool and some bov sound letting off at high boost - will be alot of fun on cold nights up in the hills, well worth the price imo, and the cf shroud around the pod filters should provide some level of heat soak resistance stuck in traffic

seriously considering some gfb hybrid bovs now to get some more bov sound at high boost

    • Given you're running a 2.8 and my 2.5 is not really like for like, I suspect there could be a bit more timing you could give it. What is the kW yield per degree you're putting through it? Here's my E85 map to give you an idea, where it was I could still get another 3~4kW per degree thrown at it.  
    • It turns out that Setrab make a fan specifically for the oil cooler which is great and I've installed it with minimal swearing. I removed my 2x 12in push fans from the front of my aircon condenser and wired them into this. My main thermo fans kick on when I use the aircon anyway and would effectively already be working as puller fans through the condensor which is infront of the rad. The push fans (understandably) didn't really do much in the config they were previously in so now they're out. Now we're on to the "Oil fan doesn't really do much either!". Yes I'll duct it next if it does nothing in heavy use which it shouldn't. But hey, the object exists and fits great and is cool. Let me have this. The car is still in the "do my fittings leak oil now? do my wheels actually rub?" phase. I did a spirited drive on them and didn't hear or feel anything. Then I got back home and noticed there were grind marks on the inside of the rims, though I couldn't see where they were touching I got out the grinder and attacked the suspects. Note: I do not know how to use a grinder. Then I realised I had dragged my new rims across my concrete driveway before I did this drive. I didn't think I had damage at that time when I briefly looked...... but remembered this occurred after I did all the angle grinding. The grinding on the wheels in some very specific spots. It's not around the whole rim for example, which lines up with dragging it across concrete more than hitting a suspension component for even 1 full rotation. So everything is currently painted and taped up and I need to test it some more to see if it really IS rubbing, but from inside the car it doesn't feel like it is. In other news I attempted to do a before and after comparison of the heads/cam upgrade thing. Dynos lie, everything is in different measurements. Here is the data from the sandown back straight. Car go faster than before. Vroom vroom.
    • Here's my base ignition. +3 correction to redline when shooting water/meth which is always on. Looking at my old ignition table, I should be able to add 1-2 degree's next time I'm on the dyno.  Let me know your thoughts. 
    • Given what I know now - same haha, but this was 12 years ago with second hand 740cc Nismo injectors in my S15 daily, I was too busy hunting elsewhere for the issue to even look at the injectors, running through some cleaner was a happy coincidence haha
    • Not a terrible idea. But if I ever had concerns that my injectors were sufficiently dirty to be causing me a problem, they would be out of the engine and onto the actual injector cleaner/testing bench.
